Natural external plastron mold of the Triassic turtle Proterochersis: An unusual mode of preservation.

PLoS ONE
Impressions of vertebrate bodies or their parts, such as trace fossils and natural molds of bones, are a valuable source of information about ancient faunas which may supplement the standard fossil record based on skeletal elements. Whereas trace fossils
